Shelley's comments: This bracelet has strong Art Nouveau influences in its winding stems and leaves. Botanical subjects were important in expressing the curvilinear shapes and undulating lines that defined the Art Nouveau era through 1910. The 'new art' brought design innovations that weren?t derived from any previous art form or period. It stressed hand fabrication over precious metals and machined manufacturing. In its day, it was expensive and avant garde. Although it occupied less than two decades of popularity, the Nouveau aesthetic remains. This fragile bloom represents innocence, purity and abundance. The flowers are attached 'en tremblant' which heighten their great appeal.

The craftsmanship of this bracelet is very fine, color of the pearls is just right and the enameled leaves curve beautifully along the bracelet. I bought this as a gift because lilies of the valley have a special significance for our family...the recipient loved it and I was more than pleased with the purchase.

This really is an exquisite piece of jewelry. While perfectly styled for today's fashionistas, you can't help but feel you're wearing something from 100 years ago. Lilies of the Valley were my grandmother's favorite flowers. When I saw this I knew I had to have it; to pay homage to her. It is more beautiful on your wrist than any picture can do justice to it.

I have the Lily of the Valley set and your Christmas Carol Charm bracelet. I have enjoyed them both. I bought them when you were on Value Vision/Shop NBC. They have held up very well. I love your collection, and wish I could collect one of each.
